To remove a mountain is easier then removing faith.

— ~ Jafar al Sadeq (as)”

Do not be hasty in punishing (someone’s) sin, and leave (room) between the two (fault and punishment) for apology.

— Imam Al Hasan (as)

I want to teach you five of those things which deserve your greatest anxiety to acquire them: Have hope only in Allah. Be afraid of nothing but sins. If you do not know a thing never feel ashamed to admit ignorance. If you do not know a thing never hesitate or feel ashamed to learn it. Acquire patience and endurance because their relation with true faith is that of a head to a body, a body is of no use without a head, similarly true faith can be of no use without attributes of resignation, endurance and patience.

— Imam Ali (as)
